the only reason our money isn’t worth much bc the people in charge are so addicted to war and power the fail to understand that this country can’t afford to have 22 aircraft carriers or wage 2 wars for a decade, or spent 300 billion in a 5th generation jet fighter program, or spent hundred of billion on foreign aid, its just﻿ wasteful spending and it has been going of quite some time now. Its is sad bc every day Americans are stuck as it if was our fault.

I live in the US and I love the Maple leafs. I love the Gold ones bc the US ones have copper in them, small amount but we are charged as a costumer for the 1 troy ounce﻿ and I feel like I am being short changed.

a gold standard today would seriously ruin the economy and make those who own gold super rich… although we would like to have honest money, backing currency to gold won’t prevent the corrupt people who are in control of﻿ the money supply

The simple short﻿ answer would be to buy coins. If you live in Canada, the Canadian Maple leaf would be good to start with. I favor coins because we still use coins (pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters), but we never used gold or silver bars as money.

the collapse of the dollar will be bad but i am not sure how bad it﻿ will be. it will depend on how the government makes the necessary changes, and how people react to it. I agree that humans give value to what money is, but right now the government forces us to accept currency as money.

“our money isn’t worth much” Okay. If you think precious metals will save you, that’s fine. The thing to remember is that the US﻿ Dollar, Silver, Gold, etc are ALL fiat. That is, HUMANS assign value to them. Oh, and if the US Dollar collapses, we are all screwed: Even those of us who have precious metals. (We will be SLIGHTLY less screwed, that’s all).

good job. I have only one comment. When the phone rings, if you﻿ just cut right away, and get back, no one knows what the interruption was, except that the phone started to ring. your back to the video immediately anyway, without having this explanation about the phone.

After﻿ seeing all of these videos about silver and spending, future investments, dollar collapse etc etc etc, I finally made my first 1oz silver bar purchase today. They seem more appealing to me but I will be buying coins as well in weeks to come.

Good point about the bigger trades. I see Russia, China, Australia, Brazil, and others have already dropped the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. We don;t have﻿ much longer before the bottom falls out

Congrats on your first order! Sounds like you have a good plan. Technically speaking, the dollar has already collapsed over 95% of it’s value since 1913. If we come to a temporary halt and need to use physical goods like gold and﻿ silver to trade, then the coins will work better. The bars will be good for bigger trades.

As a brand new silver stacker (my first shipment is on the way) I will be leaning more toward coins because if the dollar collapses and we﻿ are forced to use silver as currency then 10oz bars will be hard to use. Just as we have 1’s, 5’s 10’s, and 20’s in bills, I’m stacking 90%, 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz, and I also have a 10oz “Snake”(because I couldn’t resist. It looks sweet!). In a collapse most people will not be able to break a 10oz bar, but they’ll be fine accepting smaller increments.
